Hard decisions sometimes have to be made. Still love everything y’all are doing - goat goals ❤

[@optymystyq]

So glad you went over who you are keeping and who you are letting go....and I'm glad you are keeping the old does and they get to retire. I was almost afraid of what their fates would be, but then I remembered you are Derek and Crystal! Can't wait to see that "secret property"! Love the flashback photos! This is my favorite channel.

[@dollyc4314]

I loved seeing that picture of you and Crystal.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It sounds like you've made some great family decisions. You have to do what's right for you, the family and the farm. You've done it, you've been successful, be proud and know things can always change again.

[@cassandrasatriano7037]

West palm beach here glad you stopped by north Florida

[@kimmathis694]

I know it’s hard to let the senior and the kids goats go but it has to be done. I love all the goats!

[@cherylwo8475]

I'm in Orlando! Love watching your adventures!! Thanks for taking us along!! 🥰

[@wolfgirl2106]

You have to do what is best for you , your family, and your herd. And you never know you might have a big herd again someday after all we have no idea what the future brings but we are all along for the ride

[@wolfgirl2106]

Also would love to know how you built the trailer so I can build one for my farm it would of great help

[@OceanSwimmer]

Derek & Crystal, it's kind that you took the time to explain your decision making process. On the other hand, I hope you have not received criticism about what you need to do; after all, armchair know-it-alls are a dime a dozen. People who get it, and understand that YOU are the ones who live with your decisions will always support you. I'm here to watch, learn and cheer you on. America needs to show more appreciation to families growing their own business and doing so with integrity. Enjoy the 4th of July knowing that your example is part of what makes America great. God bless! 🎆🇺🇸🎆

[@hollyfinch1312]

Been in florida all my life so far . Live near I10...

[@annmurry1628]

You did a very good job in building that trailer for your goats

[@kkeenan536]

Good decision cause if you want to get moved, you’ll need more time & less distractions for all the work ahead!

[@Its_Meg12]

I saw her KZbin pop up in my feed today: I followed and can’t wait till we see Thor Tucker ( cause she doesn’t know what to call him yet lol) grow up

[@kitdriscoll1288]

The only "twisted cape" channel I found is some dark stuff ...not a farm or homestead????

[@cindyboard7816]

I found it. It wasn't the first selections given but on day the page. She has a video posted with the Blue Cactus additions.

[@kathleenperreault3000]

I'm from Florida. Right now it's raining 🌧

[@BaeAmore]

It's interesting, the thought that a growing business, means that it is time to downsize. It's not wrong, many people sell their business once it has taken off. It's interesting to see what the next chapter would be. I feel like you guys made a huge impact on the breed, and really helping the body confirmation. I'm a bit sad, but these girls, and the girls past, all have homes, are mothers, and are growing the genetics across the country. Live the American dream. Build the home of your dreams. I doubt ya'll are of pension age! We will still see you guys out there. And I look forward to seeing how the silver roaning appears throughout future breedings! Plus it's always good to keep a couple grass cutting goats when you get a new property! You could have goats at both properties! Anyways, I look forward to hearing from Crystal again. It's been a rough few weeks... months. We miss you girl!

[@teresableigh7724]

I know exactly where you’re at, our son lives in Commerce, GA. I love that place!

[@sallywaites8517]

From a purely selfish perspective, less goats works for me. I find it very hard to get to know all the goats when there's so many of them. Now I will be able to get to know everyone.

[@susansowards9102]

[@dianelavoie6208]

I’m sad to hear there will be fewer bred does. I’ll miss seeing them being born. Making your human kids a priority is important.

[@zoelynngonzalez5971]

I watch you from Riverview, FL, a suburb of Tampa. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your channel since 2020! Looking forward to following your adventures in the future!

[@beckyruprich7903]

Thanks you sharing, I love how you do that on the end.

[@diannajepson8708]

Yeah, my son and I are thinking maybe we build up to 8-10 milkers.

[@nedvel1461]

Breeding animals is really hard because of making decisions like this Every year herd or flock gets better and its harder and harder to let someone go! I am breeding chickens for a long time and u know i cant be comparing goat and chicken but this year with 100of them and taking good care of them was to much This decision you guys made has give me motivation to get rid of half of them!! Everyone who is going to judge you guys have to get that when you have smaller number you can take better care of them

[@malickceesay8079]

Will you guys still go to the 2024 ADGA NATIONAL SHOW

[@tanyabarbee9367]

Odd numbers run North and South. Even numbers run east and west...

[@debbiezipoli3768]

South Florida here! Not zoned for goats where I live :-(

[@KevinRea-ho5my]

By gee ur good on that camera grandad😅😊

[@Sonya73]

You're down close to my house in South Georgia

[@normafoster156]

I'm think you should stick with breading eight of them

[@HillsideTavernDairyGoats]

I bet the decision was very hard to make, but it will be worth it!💛

[@79PoisonBreaker]

Since you almost live in the truck for a short time and put lots of long miles on it, would be nice to get your likes/dislikes , best feature, and a dream feature for long haul light trucks. Thanks for sharing.

[@Justalittlefarm]

Hello: we are in Lake City , FL. Sorry we missed you.

[@hattiecolley54]

U Rock Derek! Keep up the great work, be Careful and Safe as possible. These type of Trips must be Grueling. Why is Darin Not Traveling with U this time? Being alone is very Risky, people r Not that Cordial anymore. Keep it Pushing, I Always Pray for U and the little Babies

[@lauradent9480]

You can get the square home security cameras and mount them to the roof inside the trailer..one in each pen

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video 😊

[@minkaf4243]

You are a good man.

[@pamw.8676]

New website-to be run by one of the kids--so they get an income from their work…. “Grans of Blue Cactus dairy goats”. As in grandma goats that you are keeping…. I would watch their lives in retirement.

[@Jules1280]

Hi Derek! Thank you for taking us on your adventures of delivering the goats. Hey, have a suggestion for you. Have you looked at Quonset Huts? They are easy to build and cost a lot less than a stick-built home. They are wind, water, tornado and earthquake proof. Check them out. Cheers!

[@Vikinggirl1968]

Lmao too funny , gotta give them an A for effort !!!😂😅😂😅😂😅❤

[@lindawingate4749]

Safe journey up the east coast big guy! Haha wonder how long the camera lasts in the back with the boys 🤪

[@stevedingman474]

lol yellow mustard! You wanna stop a goat from chewing slap some yellow mustard on it ! Been keeping goats 20 years it’s always worked . But sure those bucklings are bored !

Give Emily a choice of a babie to keep as her own forever, to breed raise, show ? To start her " own" goat herd?

[@janetmcdonald9340]

Hey Derek, is that red buck horned? I just wondered if some people request horned!

[@leahharbison4932]

❤

[@rhondajhunter9091]

You are driving through familiar territory! My husband was born in northwest Arkansas, and I now I live in Greenville, SC. I would love to have a goat, but I'm too old and decrepit to take care of one. Love your videos! Too bad KZbin is so picky about birthing videos! Do some people good to see where their food comes from! lol!
